@JohnGregory, have you read any other books in the Cosmere? If so what was your favorite?

@JemmaMYoung, I love your artwork of Shallan and the Cryptic’s. It is excellent! Have you done any artwork of Lift eating pancakes?

@Shallan314, I agree with you. I love every minute of the Stormlight Archive. What was your favorite part/book? I personally like kalladin’s journey as a bridge-man and his growing relationship with Syl. I guess that makes my favorite book from the series the Way of Kings.

@Grishhammer, It is a big commitment, but it is also worth it. I didn't read them all straight through, I found it easy enough to come back and remember the main points of the previous books after reading something else. I can't get my wife to read the books I like. I just want to share the things I love with her. I am a huge sci-fi and fantasy reader and she only likes reading non-fiction and an occasional young adult novel. What can you do. Another series I highly recommend is the Darker Shade of Magic series by V.E. Schwab. I thought the characters had good depth and the writing wasn't repetitive.

@Grishhammer, I'd be interested in what you would think of the Wheel of Time series. Have you tried it yet? I loved Robert Jordon/Brandon Sanderson's 14 book series, I thought the characters were interesting and the story had a lot of depth. I know there are people out there who didn't like it as much but I thought it was fantastic. That being my humble opinion. We all like and dislike certain things in books/Authors.

I've been a Sanderson fan for several years now and somehow I have still not read the Rithmatist. I got the digital version narrated by Michael Kramer. It's pretty great so far. It only cost's $7.00 on audible right now. I can't help but get the audio versions of these books, they are so fantastic and allow me to enjoy the books while in the car or doing chores. I highly recommend it. Welcome to the forum @Grishhammer, what are some of the series that you couldn't get through?

Thanks @Mistspren, that was a huge help.

I agree that the Stormlight Archive is the best. My favorite character is Kaladin as well. My second favorite character is Lift. She is hilarious and mysterious at the same time. What I want to know from all of you experienced forum goers is how do you make the name thingy show up. I copy and paste someones user name in my posts but can't make them look like the black reverse type name like it is below. How is it done?

The Wheel of Time series is my favorite book series coming about equal the the Stormlight Archive. I loved every minute of it. I agree with Ammanas, I think you should read the first book and see if you like it. I was very much like you when I first started the series. I hadn't read many other books and I had the desire to really get into reading. When I read the first book I was daunted by the size but fell in love with the characters. I couldn't put the books down after that. See what you think about the first book and make sure you let us know what you think.

I am currently listening to Warbreaker. I think it is fantastic so far. I have read the other books you listed and thought they were great as well. I would suggest reading Warbreaker or Elantris before the Mistborn trilogy. I say that because I found it difficult to get through the last 2 Mistborn books. They were kind of dry for my taste. Warbreaker does have elements that expand the Stormlight Archive but they are not necessary to enjoy Brandon's other books. He says that he tries to make each book(series) enjoyable as a stand alone story without needing to read his other books. Welcome to the forum.

My first Sanderson book was Mistborn. I really enjoyed the book but didn't read another for a year or so until I came across the Way of Kings. The Way of Kings is what really got me into his books. Welcome to the forum.

A bane is included as a curse. Asking the night watcher to not curse me would mean that it is a wash.

Brandon doesn't have any time to put together a cookbook. I would rather him spend his time doing what he does best. That is writing awesome fiction. There is quite a long list of food items described in Brandon's books. Putting a cookbook together would be awesome. I imagine these pancakes to be crepes with different filling inside, or does lift just roll them up as she's running about.

There are a lot of similarities between covenants and oaths in the Stormlight Archive. Especially since a covenant is a promise made between man and God, where we are the only ones able to break our promise. It is the same with Spren in the case of the Stormlight Archive. Only the human can mess things up. We see this with Kaladin in the Way of Kings. Its cool to have an excellent fantasy writer who is LDS. I find his writing very exciting. What is the graphic audio version?
